[QUOTE="Fanaelialae, post: 7890279, member: 53980"] Some of my favorite sessions have included little or no combat, so yes, absolutely. Even in games where I've played a fighter. I will add the caveat that it would need to be with a DM who I believe has the skill to pull it off competently, or otherwise on a trial basis. IME, including combat is a fairly reliable way to ensure that the game is fun. It tends to be something that almost everyone enjoys and can participate in. However, there are plenty of other things that can be even more enjoyable. Such as unraveling a mystery that's been taunting the players. Or conversing with NPCs who have interesting personalities / things to say. It doesn't matter to me that those aspects don't have enormous mechanical support in D&D because I don't feel that they require it per se. In other words, those aspects are admittedly less gamified than combat, but I don't necessarily consider that to be a bad thing. [/QUOTE]
